Aren't you a skinny kid - just like his poppa |
|
Where's he working ? - he's not working |
|
Thin as the smile i wear |
|
Cold as the beaches you comb |
|
Till the cows come home |
|
Tell the truth again - tell the truth again |
|
Near to the knuckle, near to the knuckle |
|
Why're you laughing ? - you call that laughing ? |
|
Wearing your death's head grin - even the fishes are thin |
|
When the boat comes in |
|
Things are better now - things are better now |
|
We've education |
|
I doff my cap to a life that lets you |
|
Dream a poor man's dream |
|
But he can't have his coffee with cream |
|
Till the cows come home |
